To believe there will be a surcease

—Sam Loweathal. the gentleman who
buys old Iron, rubber, rags, furs and
skies, received word here last week that
his barn had burned down and his cow
burned up—that was the way the tele-
gram read. Sam lost ao time ia getting
to Muscatine where he found his barn
and cow in ashes. The worst of it is his
insurance on the barn had run out bat a
abort time before. His many friends here
and throughout the country are sorry to
hear of hla loss. If ha should live a hun-

Maay times, ere waned the winter,
Did he strive in vain to tell
How bis heart wag but a splinter
'Neath the magic of her spell.
After weeks of aggravation,
Forced to keep the young love from

He declared in desperation,
"i will write!"
So he bravely get to bnrning
Gallons of the midnight oil.
Passed through many a tortuous

In epistolary toil;
Begged that he might forge the fetter
That but death <or law ) unlocks,
And at last he dropped the letter
In the box.
Dreaming she'd be "his devoted,"
How his soul was stirred to song
As the postman, sober coated.
Trod the drowsy street along!
Then one morn that worthy's whistle
Shrilled more sharply than before.
And there fell a small epistle
At his door.
Oh, he doubted not the sender.
For her crest the wax revealed!
With that trepidation tender
He the envelope unsealed!
But the fervor of his passion
Grew upon a sudden cool,
iter she answered in this fashion:
"April fool!"

This is the second week of the Tele-
gram's great popular voting contest,
and from present indicatioas It bids
fair to become oae of the greatest af-
fairs of Its kind ever put forward ia
Texas. All over the country the peo-
ple are talking of the generosity of
the Temple Telegram In making this
offer to the young ladles of Temple
and surrounding country.
The Scholarship feature of the
Telegram's voting contest appeals
particularly to each of the young la-
dies in the four districts. Draughon's
Colleges has been selected where the
girls will receive certificates, to enter
any one of the many schools at any
time this year, who desire to qualify
themselves to fill renumerative posi-
tions as stenographers, book keepers
and secretaries in commercial con-
cerns. Doxens of young women in
the territory embraced have entered
the contest for the express purpose
of winning one of these valuable
scholarships. In every town are well-
to-do men and women who consider
it their duty as well as find it a plea-
sure to assist young people in such a
laudable ambition as that of securing
business education and fitting them-
selves to make' their way in the world.
As soon as the young woman aspirant
makes her canidacy known to the
people of this class, as well as to her
personal friends, they will at once be-
gin to save the coupons which are ap-
pearing every day In the Telegram
and send in their subscriptions for
six months or a year and get the
votes.. A subscription for one year
gives 2500 votes. It requires but a
very few of these at the outset to
place any canidate in a most advan-
tageous position.
Make up your mind right now that
you are going to be one of the lucky
ones and strive to attain that end.
You can do it if you try. Do not
wait until the last moment, but start
right now. if your name is already
entered in the list, and you have not
much aa yat, begin bow, You
will never regret the time aad effort
spent la the contest.
At present the candidates are Just
beginning to get their start and feel-
ing the pulse of their friends to learn
their strength.
A number of subscriptions have al-
ready come in and tomorrow will see
more Issued than any other day since
the opening of this great voting con-
test. Votes clipped from the Tele-
gram are received dally In large num-
bers and many votes which are Issued
on subscriptions are sent out to be
drawn on later, when an absolute ne-
cessity arrives.
Any young woman who desires to
enter her name should write to the
contest manager and she will at once
be placed on the subscription list and
receive the paper at her home every
day and will be furnished with print-
ed matter explaining the contest fully
and with receipt blanks for securing
subscribers.
How To Win.
Any young lady who desires to en-
ter this great contest and win one
of the magnificent prices offered,
should at ones see that her name is
sent to the contest manager. All that
is necessary to win a prise Is to re-
ceive the largest number of rotes ac-
cording to the conditions mentioned
elsewhere In this paper. The easiest
and quickest way to win Is for the
candidates to ask their friends to pre-
pay their subscriptions from six to
twelve months. It costs the subsclb-
er nothing extra to do this and they
are saved the annoyance of monthly
collection. By so doing you receive
a special ballot that is good at any
time during the contest. Any one
who desires to vote In this contest
may do so by ballots cut from the
Dally Telegram or Special Vote Cou-
pons obtained by subscribing and by
paying their subscription in advance
to the Daily or Sunday only Telegram

Kow before you say much about It, go to
the editor's offlce and sea one bunch of
them, and maybe you will save a whole
lot of gas.
The editor, however, placed the fol-

letter:

tegged rats have eaten peanuts. Tine aad
